A Second Chance

Chapter 21

Summer came around quickly and for the Fourth of July, Rory, Logan, and the kids were invited to a barbecue/pool party at Amy and Michael's house.

Rory was sitting on the patio with Amy and Megan, watching Matthew jump into the pool. She also had Julie on her lap.

"So how's Matthew doing with the babies?" Amy asked

"Oh, he's still completely obsessed with them" Rory said. "He always wants to help us feed them and get them dressed, and he always wants to hold them which doesn't work so well anymore because they're 10 months old now and they just wanna be moving all over the place"

"How funny would it be if you got pregnant again and it turned out to be triplets again?" Megan chuckled.

"That is so not happening" Rory said. "I have no plans to be pregnant again"

"Ahhh!" Julie squealed

"What?" Rory asked. "Why are you mad?"

"That's her saying she needs a sister" Megan said.

"Not happening" Rory said and turned her attention to the very fussy baby that was in her lap. "Why are you so grumpy?" She stood up to gently rock Julie and as soon as she was standing, the baby stopped crying. "That's it? You just wanted me to stand?"

Later that night, Logan was in the kitchen making bottles for the babies when Matthew came up from the playroom. "Where's mommy?"

"She's upstairs. She's changing the babies" Logan said.

"What are you doing?"

"Making bottles"

"Can I help you?"

"Sure" Logan said. "Come here" he lifted Matthew to sit on the counter. "I'm gonna put water in the bottle and then you're gonna put in 6 scoops of the formula. Ok?"

"Ok" Matthew said.

Logan watched Matthew to make sure he put in the right amount, then they repeated the process two more times before bringing the bottles upstairs. The babies were now 10 months old and could hold their own bottles which made it easier for Rory and Logan. Most nights, they'd put the babies on their bed to give them their bottles and Logan would feed them while Rory got Matthew ready for bed.

One Matthew was ready for bed, he went back into Rory and Logan's bedroom to lay on the bed with the babies.

"Ace" Logan said and nodded towards Matthew who's fallen asleep.

Rory chucked. "I think all the swimming tired him out"

"You want me to put him in his room?" Logan asked.

"Let's get the babies to sleep and then I'll move him" Rory said.

Later that night Rory was laying in bed with Logan's arms around her as he softly trailed his fingers up and down her leg.

"We really should get dressed" Rory said.

"Oh, but it's so much better when you're naked" Logan said and lightly brushed his lips over her neck.

Rory chuckled.

"You seriously have no idea how beautiful you are" he put his hand under her chin and turned her head so he could kiss her.

The months went by quickly and before they knew it the triplets were a year old. Rory and Logan were in the living room with the kids, Lorelai, Luke, Shira, Honor, Josh, and their 3 daughters Reese, Jasmine, and Lilly.

"Where are you going?" Rory asked and picked Ryan up.

"That's it, huh?" Honor chuckled. "You've got 3 walking babies now?"
